"A connection point and large-scale gesture that inspires us to come together,” was Hank Willis Thomas and Coby Kennedy's inspiration behind their grandiose sculpture REACH. Now at home in O’Hare International Airport, the larger than life sculpture by Thomas and Kennedy consists of two arms, approximately 27 and 31 feet long, suspended between nine and 34 feet off the ground in the North Escalator Hall of the Multi-Modal Facility. Viewers approaching the three-story hall through the tunnel from the public lobby will see a massive beckoning hand overhead and a second hand, seemingly inches from embracing the former. The colossal work was commissioned by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), and is part of the Expo Chicago fair's programme for large-scale and site-specific works. Drawing inspiration from Thomas's Punctum series, REACH zeros in on the mere moment before two hands touch as a reminder of togetherness and connectivity in a location where many bid each other farewell.
